2011-09-15Replace the VMSTOP macros with a proper state typeLuiz Capitulino
Today, when notifying a VM state change with vm_state_notify(), we pass a VMSTOP macro as the 'reason' argument. This is not ideal because the VMSTOP macros tell why qemu stopped and not exactly what the current VM state is. One example to demonstrate this problem is that vm_start() calls vm_state_notify() with reason=0, which turns out to be VMSTOP_USER. This commit fixes that by replacing the VMSTOP macros with a proper state type called RunState. Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com>
2011-09-02main: force enabling of I/O threadAnthony Liguori
Enabling the I/O thread by default seems like an important part of declaring 1.0. Besides allowing true SMP support with KVM, the I/O thread means that the TCG VCPU doesn't have to multiplex itself with the I/O dispatch routines which currently requires a (racey) signal based alarm system. I know there have been concerns about performance. I think so far the ones that have come up (virtio-net) are most likely due to secondary reasons like decreased batching. I think we ought to force enabling I/O thread early in 1.0 development and commit to resolving any lingering issues. Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>

2011-07-23Register Linux dyntick timer as per-thread signalJan Kiszka
Derived from kvm-tool patch http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.kvm.devel/74309 Ingo Molnar pointed out that sending the timer signal to the whole process, just blocking it everywhere, is suboptimal with an increasing number of threads. QEMU is also using this pattern so far. Linux provides a (non-portable) way to restrict the signal to a single thread: We can use SIGEV_THREAD_ID unless we are forced to emulate signalfd via an additional thread. That case could theoretically be optimized as well, but it doesn't look worth bothering.

2011-07-23qemu-timer: Introduce clock reset notifierJan Kiszka
QEMU_CLOCK_HOST is based on the system time which may jump backward in case the admin or NTP adjusts it. RTC emulations and other device models can suffer in this case as timers will stall for the period the clock was tuned back. This adds a detection mechanism that checks on every host clock readout if the new time is before the last result. If that is the case a notifier list is informed. Device models interested in this event can register a notifier with the clock. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2011-07-23qemu-timer: change unix timer to dynticksPaolo Bonzini
A timer that wakes up every millisecond puts a lot of stress on the iothread. The large amount of IPIs causes very high context switch activity, making emulation slow and the UI unusable. This is by the way the same reason why the Windows timers were switched to dynticks.

2011-04-27qemu-timer: Fix timers for w32Stefan Weil
Commit 68c23e5520e8286d79d96ab47c0ea722ceb75041 removed the multimedia timer, but this timer is needed for certain Linux kernels. Otherwise Linux boot stops with this error: MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC So the multimedia timer is added again here.

2011-04-15enable vm_clock to "warp" in the iothread+icount casePaolo Bonzini
The previous patch however is not enough, because if the virtual CPU goes to sleep waiting for a future timer interrupt to wake it up, qemu deadlocks. The timer interrupt never comes because time is driven by icount, but the vCPU doesn't run any insns. You could say that VCPUs should never go to sleep in icount mode if there is a pending vm_clock timer; rather time should just warp to the next vm_clock event with no sleep ever taking place. Even better, you can sleep for some time related to the time left until the next event, to avoid that the warps are too visible externally; for example, you could be sending network packets continously instead of every 100ms. This is what this patch implements. qemu_clock_warp is called: 1) whenever a vm_clock timer is adjusted, to ensure the warp_timer is synchronized; 2) at strategic points in the CPU thread, to make sure the insn counter is synchronized before the CPU starts running. In any case, the warp_timer is disabled while the CPU is running, because the insn counter will then be making progress on its own.

2011-03-21remove qemu_get_clockPaolo Bonzini
These patches are already not doing a great service to out-of-tree modifications to QEMU. However, at least we can warn them by getting rid of the old confusing functions, or otherwise causing compilation errors. This patch removes qemu_get_clock; the previous one changed qemu_new_timer's signature. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2011-03-21add a generic scaling mechanism for timersPaolo Bonzini
This enables rt_clock timers to use nanosecond resolution, just by using the _ns functions; there is really no reason to forbid that. Migrated timers are all using vm_clock (of course; but I checked that anyway) so the timers in the savevm files are already in nanosecond resolution. So this patch makes no change to the migration format. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2011-03-21change all other clock references to use nanosecond resolution accessorsPaolo Bonzini
This was done with: sed -i 's/qemu_get_clock\>/qemu_get_clock_ns/' \ $(git grep -l 'qemu_get_clock\>' ) sed -i 's/qemu_new_timer\>/qemu_new_timer_ns/' \ $(git grep -l 'qemu_new_timer\>' ) after checking that get_clock and new_timer never occur twice on the same line. There were no missed occurrences; however, even if there had been, they would have been caught by the compiler. There was exactly one false positive in qemu_run_timers: - current_time = qemu_get_clock (clock); + current_time = qemu_get_clock_ns (clock); which is of course not in this patch.

2011-02-23do not use qemu_icount_delta in the !use_icount casePaolo Bonzini
The !use_icount code is the same for iothread and non-iothread, except that the timeout is different. Since the timeout might as well be infinite and is only masking bugs, use the higher value. With this change the !use_icount code is handled equivalently in qemu_icount_delta and qemu_calculate_timeout, and we rip it out of the former.

2011-02-04Unify alarm deadline computationPaolo Bonzini
This patch shows how using the correct formula for qemu_next_deadline_dyntick can simplify the code of host_alarm_handler and eliminate useless duplication. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2011-02-04Correct alarm deadline computationPaolo Bonzini
When the QEMU_CLOCK_HOST clock was added, computation of its deadline was added to qemu_next_deadline, which is correct but incomplete. I noticed this by reading the very convoluted rules whereby qemu_next_deadline_dyntick is computed, which miss QEMU_CLOCK_HOST when use_icount is true. This patch inlines qemu_next_deadline into qemu_next_deadline_dyntick, and then corrects the logic to skip only QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL when use_icount is true.

2010-10-23qemu-timer: move commonly used timer code to qemu-timer-commonBlue Swirl
Move timer init functions to a new file, qemu-timer-common.c. Make other critical timer functions inlined to preserve performance in qemu-timer.c, also move muldiv64() (used by the inline functions) to qemu-timer.h. Adjust block/raw-posix.c and simpletrace.c to use get_clock() directly. Remove a similar/duplicate definition in qemu-tool.c. Adjust hw/omap_clk.c to include qemu-timer.h because muldiv64() is used there. After this change, tracing can be used also for user code and simpletrace on Win32.
